How do you fix a flooded engine on a 1996 Caravan SE?

If by flooded, you mean with fuel, there are two solutions. One is to leave the engine alone for a while (an hour or so should be plenty long). The other is to hold the gas pedal on the floor (do not pump it) while starting the engine until the engine starts. Give the starter a break periodically, don't crank for more than 45 seconds continuously or damage can occur to the starter. If by flooded, you mean with water, it would depend on how long and what kind of water is involved. Repair could be as simple as flushing the engine, or as complicated as a total rebuild.
